Re: [presentation-api] Can the same browsing context act as a controller and receiver? (#338)

Back to the original issue, which is about a presentation receiver page being allowed to initiate a presentation.  From a spec point of view, I don't see any particular restriction on it; it's really a matter of the user interface to give the presentation the permission o launch another presentation.

This could happen (for example) you use the controller API to initiate a presentation on a secondary monitor, then call `PresentationRequest.start()` from the presentation page, where you could use your mouse to interact with the dialog.   This doesn't work in Chrome right now (the dialog doesn't show up) but that's an implementation limitation.

I think this can be addressed with a non-normative note saying something like, "It is possible for a presentation to start another presentation, but not all browsers may choose to implement this."
